How can this continue to happen and our western governments just sit and twiddle the thumbs? Where is Australians Albanese government to condemn this? It’s criminal. Literally.
Julie Peel@juliepeel2327.bsky.social · 9h agoWhere is international law?! aje.news/2t1eap
International law doesn’t apply to western/white nations. The rules based order are not written anywhere, the UN, ICC, ICJ, World Bank and IMF are tools, used by countries of the global north, to control the resource rich global south.

Think NHS pressures only happen in the winter? Think again. 🚨 With summer heatwaves, increased outdoor activity, and ongoing healthcare demands, hospital staff are facing winter-level pressures all year long without a break. Read here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Over 800 people have written to Yvette Cooper, can we hit 1,000 today? Every new appointment is a chance to shape the future of healthcare, so she needs to hear directly from patients and staff. We’re making sure she gets the message. Send here: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/save-the-nhs...
Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

Our prisons are overcrowded because the system is broken. The answer isn't endless emergency releases. It's investing in prevention, rehabilitation and giving people the support they need to rebuild their lives.
I hear Richard Tice is under investigation for failing to declare a conflict of interest when he recently spoke in favour of Israel, what about all the LFI/CFI members who also spoke in favour of Israel isn't that a conflict interest, being funded or representing a foreign government?

If I were the French government, I would absolutely not pay any attention to—let alone issue a formal response to—a political party chatting shit that has *ONE PERCENT* of the seats in the House of Commons.

@andyburnham.bsky.social what are you doing to help drought stricken farmers and protect water supplies? When are the water companies going to be brought under public control? This is a much bigger priority than defence.
BBC news web page doesn't mention Farage but 12pm news on 5 Live carried an excerpt of his speech along with Yusuf comments Farage should have no platform on our 'impartial' broadcaster whilst the by-election is in process
Nolan Principles Matter. End the #GazaGenocide💔💙@philildo.bsky.social · 2d agoUK users Just me or should the BBC not report what a by-election candidate says without inviting all the other 33 candidates to talk about their policies on small boat crossings. Why has Farage been given prime media attention? What happened to prejudicing elections? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.
This ban is both ridiculous and authoritarian. #SortItBurnham
Defend Our Juries@defendourjuries.bsky.social · 3d agoAMAZING MOMENT A woman came back still wearing a custody tshirt having been released for a terrorism arrest. While being arrested for declaring support for Palestine Action a second time, another woman came back to do the same. The opposition to this ban cannot be contained.
Turn failing water firms into not-for-profit cooperatives, MPs and mayors tell PM. Issues: Corporate debt would be transferred to co-ops. Co-ops would borrow for investment at commercial rates, not govt rates. High debt and debt servicing cost, higher bills. Need public ownership.

Charles Keener@charleskeener.bsky.social · 4d agoSpain is being publicly punished for its defiance of American imperialistic aggression and hegemonic control and for having the audacity to call what Israel is doing in Gaza what it actual is, a genocide. It has also taken steps to limit Israel's activity in the country.

Worst we’ve known’: UK turns to imports as drought and heat hit vegetable crops. Food insecurity and higher prices would follow. Poor hit the hardest. Despite warnings, no plan for water shortages. Need reservoirs, water storage, better water management. Companies can't do national planning.

One of the most damaging ideological victories of the last decade was the now widespread belief that coughing all over other people, wiping your snot on hand rails or not washing your hands after going to the toilet is a heroic exercise of your rights.
Ed Poole@edpoole1975.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's astonishing that people in positions of influence, whose job is inderstanding policy, can look at the death toll from the UK and the death toll in New Zealand during the height of Covid-19 and conclude we should have been more relaxed in the UK.
Crumbling infrastructure & lack of water jeopardising govt plans for new homes. Privatisation of England's water prioritised shareholder returns. No new reservoirs, desalination plants, or national grid of water. Companies don't do national planning. Yet govts intoxicated with privatisation
